Thermodynamics & Energy Systems (Spring 2012)

Course code : ME-TES-U1
ECTS Credits : 10 Status : Compulsory
Placement : 3. semester Hours per week : 9
Length : 1 semester Teaching Language : English

Principal Content : Thermodynamic properties and laws. Conservation of mass and energy. Control volume and control mass. Phase diagrams and cycles. Power plants, engines, refrigerators and other systems for energy conversion. Efficiency. Exergy. Gas mixtures. General modeling and simulation.
Teaching method : The pedagogy of the course is “problem-based learning”. Approximately half of the time allocated to the course will be used in guided project work in groups. The course projects will give the students an opportunity to apply basic concepts learned in the class to real-life problems, and to learn new concepts in thermodynamics and modern energy systems that are not covered in the lectures.
There will be introductory and summing up lectures and the students will work in small groups with projects, problem solving, simulations and case studies.
Required prequisites : Mathematics & Modeling 2 (ME-MAM2) or equivalent.
